I-IOMEROOM REPRESENTATIVE Was there anything here at North this year that you didn't like? lf there was, you are as much to blame as any- one, for you had a wonderful opportunity to improve any aspect of the school that you thought was wrong. This op- portunity was given to you and your fellow students when your homeroom representatives sat in at Council meetings and reported back to you the problems that had arisen and solicited your help in solving them. There couldn't possibly be any senior who is dissatisfied with this year, for the seniors had double-barreled repre- sentation. ln addition to the Student Council representa- tives, they had homeroom representatives to the Senior Class. These representatives helped the class officers decide on important matters like the prom committee, and grad- uation. Each representative talked over these vital matters with his homeroom members so that all seniors and not just a few would be handling the affairs of the class. These representatives have made our school life a co- operative affair, in which all students share willingly. PROM COMMITTEE The Prom Committee, with Jack Walker as general chairman, gave the senior class one of the finest Senior Proms that any class at North has ever had. May 20th was chosen as the date and the Quincy Armory for the place. Paul Crowley and his committee arranged for the colorful and unusual Hawaiian decorations. Steve Erwin was able to secure the ine orchestra of Freddy Guerra, whose music was greatly enjoyed all evening. The invitation committee, headed by Jane Raymond, took care of the programs, in- vited the guests, and organized the receiving line. The prom favors were outstanding. The favor committee, with Bar- bara Arnold as chairman, chose dainty little bracelets with an N.Q.H.S. emblem on them. A word of thanks goes to Dick Casey who visited the senior homerooms every Mon- day and Friday, gathering the class dues so that we could make the Prom not only a social but a financial success.

SPANISH CLUB gComo esta Vd? Do you know what that means? lf not, ask any of the seiiors or senoritas who were in el club de Espanol. These Spanish-speaking experts, under the guidance of Senor Walsh, use the language they study at the meetings. The main purpose of the Club is to make the members more familiar with every-day Spanish. The atmosphere at the monthly meetings is friendly and informal, with a social gathering following the business meeting. 1Comanosl Translated for you, that means, Let's Eat! That was the cry heard Cmore in English than in Spanishj at the supper held in the spring. All the foods on the menu were Spanish and were prepared by our own cooks from South American recipes. For all the students who want to know more about Spanish and to learn how to use it more inform- ally, membership in the Spanish Club is just the thing. HISTURY CLUB One of the most interesting and educational of North's activities is the History Club, sponsored by Miss Pratt. Although the members have met but once a month, they have heard lectures on our own city, Mexico, and China: seen technicolor movies on Central America, Alaska, and Eire: taken a trip to Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill Cincluding a stop at the Wayside lnnj, and concluded the season with a picnic at Miss Pratt's camp. Under new rules drawn up this year, History Club presi- dents will be elected the year before they are scheduled to take office. Another new rule makes dropping those mem- bers that miss more than three meetings mandatory: how- ever, the necessity for such a rule is doubtful.
